character voice

I'm excited to help announce Vincent Morrone's book release of VISION OF SHADOWS.
To help Vincent celebrate, I asked him for his general thoughts on writing. Here's what he said about a character's voice:
"One of the most important things when you’re writing a novel is the voice of your characters. It’s not about how impressive your prose is, or how great a plot twist there is at the end. It’s the characters that draw us in.
So how do you make sure your characters have a distinctive and charismatic voice?
Listen to it. Don’t just read the words, but form the pictures in your mind...
